The females lay their eggs, 20 TO coin

clear white and rounded at both ends
ike a snakes egg, in tho mud, and
leave them to be Matched by the heat

The Old males, and to vultures and fish.
There are several species, varing from
2 to 20 feet and upwards in length.
Perhaps the most fierce and dangerous
Is that found in the southern States as
far up The Mississippi as the Red River.
Ia cold weather they bury themselves
IN The mud, and become so torpid that
they may be cut to pieces without
showing signs Of sensibility; but a few
hours of bright sunshine are enough to
revive them.
Alligatprs are not easily killed except
by a shot OF blow ovei the eyes. Their

They are not known TO exist in any
quarter Of the world except America,
in which, however, true crocodiles are
also found, but among the fossils OF
south Of England are remains of a true
alligator. The origin Of their name is
uncertain, but it is supposed to he ii
corruption of the Portuguese ldgdrtO,

The advice to all is to keep cut of
their mouths if you don't want their
love shown toward you. Their pres

believing sound like that of a mad ball
which the older ones utter. They way
to catch Il large one is to get him foul, |
put Il roap around his upper jaw and
draw his head back on his body by
running ropes around the fore legs.
Then tie the hind legs up over his back
and you have him secure.
